The All Japan Senior Football Championship (Zen Nihon Shakaijin Sakkā Senshuken Taikai, 全国社会人サッカー選手権大会) is a football (soccer) cup competition in Japan. It is run by the Japan Football Association. As it only involves non-league teams (teams not affiliated to either J. League or the Japan Football League), it can be an equivalent of the FA Trophy or FA Vase in England.
Overview
The "Shakaijin" or "Zensha" as it is known, was first established in 1965 to determine potential entrants to the Japan Soccer League. The winner and runner-up played off in a promotion and relegation series against the bottom two clubs of the JSL. This continued even after the JSL added a Second Division in 1972 and after most of the clubs who did not join the J. League joined the former Japan Football League.
Since 1999, however, the current Japan Football League, currently the lowest national league in Japan, uses a system called the "Regional Playoffs" to promote new JFL entrants, so the "Shakaijin" is now effectively a non-league cup competition.
Many former Shakaijin winners are now J. League members, so the cup, despite no longer guaranteeing promotion (or a chance at it), is considered a stepping stone to ambitious clubs.
